My guess is that it’s akin to a perp walk, but the groom is all decked out. The children pay homage to him for helping to expand the family, treat him real nice… then at the end of the walk, they do one of two things – release him into the tunnels and hunt him down, or just mob and eat him right there… The real question is, will Aggie survive sitting up there all alone until Hilary comes back….

I can work with that… Normally that would make me a president or great military leader or something like that… Of course, since this is a shadow vessel manned by criminals I could have been a notorious serial killer too… Interesting questions to ponder.. Good call Wolf…

I was driving to work this morning when, out the blue, the answer to your question hit me. I’m thinking that since most vessels are named after people in order to honor them after their deaths, then you were dead long before you made the podcast. That would officially make you the very first Junkie "killed off" in this new story.

I had a nice time visiting the Midway (That’s a ship, called an aircraft carrier to you civilians) here in San Diego today. Gave my two speeches over the last few days and aquited myself well. So today I was getting more ordinance to Sigler traps. You better watch out Sigler!

What else do you do, treed, Brain Surgery? or maybe Spelunking? Have you ever tried writing science fiction? with math and science being your training you could create an Indiana Jones type of character…..The Adventures of Tex Reed! If he can’t solve the problem, no one can…the cover of the book has him holding up a sign that says….."will work for PI"*I’m Rear Admiral but Sigler’s the Boss*

-(being a geologist as well as a mathematician i can’t let this one go by without comment) southern california WILL actualy seperate from the mainland (it is moving to the north west realitive the the rest of N.A.) becoming an island west of the rest of North America. Plate tectonics, check it out… sorry about this science lessons, i actaully would prefer jam’s version of thingshttp://www.pgholyfield.com/maah/

But I havent listened to The Rookie yet. I started off listening to Ancestor years ago thhen moved to EarthCore. When Infected (then Infection) was released I jumped on that. But I took a bit of a break when The Rookie came along.

But I agree…I’m still working on a better write up for Baby McButter so I won’t be jumping into The Rookie deaths just yet. That being said, if there are any uber junkies that have a list of deaths, I don’t mind building the table in the wiki *hint hint*

Yes, here I am in San Diego, attending to business. But with the extra day I had (my dive was canceled by 12-15 foot waves), well, Sigler traps at the convention center ought to start worrying you for your upcoming comic con appearance.

I must have set something up wrong the first time, as we had a nice fire alarm here at the hotel. And the government knows you are coming, as the USS Ronald Reagan is not allowing public tours right now.

And then I will have to choose someone new to receive the next "Blood in the Water" award. It seems that one of the rules of that competition is that the author be alive to receive it.

The Rookie and the tales from the Rookie Universe could really use your magic. You probably have enough to keep you busy, "Don’t bite off more than you can chew" Gmork, but that mouth with all those teeth….?????

the princess (my youngest) is a sigler fan (she’s 12) she hasn’t heard all the books, just snatches of them and knows the gist of them…she still makes me sit through things, the princess diaries and things like that

Episode 15 has dropped and I haven’t been mentioned yet. Sigler, you better watch out, 23 days to San Diego, where I can set some Sigler traps. Plenty of ordinance around, since it is a major naval base there.

In the absence of new episode (hint…hint…Dark Overlord), I went back on old episodes and found out I missed a couple of details on the Nocturnal wiki fan death list.

I added Paul Fischer who got whacked in episode 5 and added a bloodspot for Martyn Casserly who bit it in episode 10. Two new bloodspots! Let’s hope for more in episode 15!

In March, I am going to San Diego and I am diving the wrecks of the Yukon and the Ruby E (information available on several websites for those that care).

Without listening (I wait until I have the entire Podbook in my hands until I start, I’m that kind of Junkie), I can offer Sigler an easy way out to get me.

It has been mentioned that these things like the dark and below ground / sewers. What about the ocean? They could pull divers into the dark passages of the sunken ships? Especially one like me who will stick his head and camera into the sides of the ship to take photos? I can even offer up suggestions on the description of me in my dive gear, and name some of the buddies I will have that day in San Diego. You can get a whole gaggle of us! I can even now send you photos of the dive boat!

Otherwise, during the rest of my trip to San Diego, I will have to set Sigler traps. (Diving is day 1 there in San Diego.)

There will be a massacre of some sort, and we’ve gotta be involved somehow.
Are you the one who’s evaded death a million times? He’s gotta kill you mate. Because if he doesn’t he’s a real Pussay, and I don’t think he should even be listening to his own podcast.
Someday, you will die.
*~*
My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life.
John Barrowman has amazing teeth and he hugs well good. I love him so much. What a waste.

Especially now that it is known that I am coming to California in March. Yes, junkies, traveling to give a presentation (actually two of them) at a conference in San Diego in March. Even have a day of diving on some of the wrecks in the San Diego area scheduled.

Personally, I ma hoping for a bloody, bloody end! So far there is only one fan based character (that I’ve been able to tell) that has met there end and they have been immortalized on the wiki list with a blood spot

One of my favorite sites was Brief Glimpses of Somewhere Else. It is resting per the creator and writer Daniel Emery. and thank goodness for Podiobooks.com. Plus all the stuff that Junkie fans listed on the podcast favorite forum.
I know I have said this before, but….. I just love the way your avatar changes…. and the added text that the voices are watching…. is so funny…..
I bet the voices are Happy you did that for them.

helps with the DT’s
sigler’s (DAMN HIM) story bagman was the first psuedopod story (it is an eerie tale of a ghost/specter/poltergeist who takes revenge on criminals and does not know when to stop or can’t stop)

Alrighty,
The List of Nocturnal Characters Named for Fans on the Nocturnal wiki has been updated to include the avatars of the fans whose names are being used as characters in the novel.

The avatars are solely based on what users have loaded to this site so if anyone wants to change theirs just shoot me a message/IM/email and let me know what picture you would like to use. Enjoy!

I checked out Tricky Dick….. I just remembered the name, not so much as to the details about him, and it was so informative to see what I had forgotten or just plain missed. I realize that I am in the presence of someone who really smart and dedicated to the cause and gets their TEETH into the task at hand.

When I am killed, you have a couple of choices for a photo. Either my avatar – which is a photo of me, albeit in scuba gear, or I can link you to a photo of me for a presentation I am giving at a computer conference.

That’s assuming that Sigler EVER gets around to trying to kill me. Of course, Sigler is afraid that if he kills me, then he will not get any more awards, like the “Blood in the Water” award that he was the first annual recipiant of. Appropriately enough, the award features a photo of a shark.

I keep a journal on all the books I read — it helps me keep track of storylines, keep a list of vocabulary words I am unsure of and how they are used, and also serves as a refresher for plotlines and character details. It ends up being part cliff notes and part memory lane of the things I liked and disliked about the books I’ve read.

Nothing I keep in my book journal is anywhere as detailed as the wiki for Nocturnal….that more like my journal on steriods…or HGH…or whaever it is those crazy ball players are using!

Also, I just finished a write up on Tricky Dick last night …take a peek! Working on Sucka now. What fun!

This could be cool, treed. Adding a picture to the table isnt a probelme and I don’t think it would look too busy.

Only cautions I would have would be:
1) If a user isnt part of the forum they would have to provide a picture for the wiki
2) Where I could find a user here on the forums, I linked to that person’s profile. I could take the picture from their profile page and toss it in the wiki. Only trouble is for people (*ahem* like myself) who have loaded avatars rather than actual pictures, then it wouldnt mean as much.

A potential solution for number one, we could put a call out to our fearless Evil leader to ask the people who make his death list to send in a picture.

For number two…I’ll pose the question to all y’all. Wha do y’all think? Would it make a difference (for wiki) if a person on the fan-named character list has a avatar rather than an actual picture of themselves?

Either way I am game for it!

Thanks for your hard work, it makes it so much more fun. It’s a great tool to use to look stuff up even as I listen ( to jog my memory.) I forget easily, who’s dead, who isn’t, which names are Junkie names, etc.

Thanks treed!
It’s been fun. I also rearranged the image table so it aligns a little better. I know there are more fan named characters but I haven’t had a chance to go back and listen for them. I’ll get back to it soon.

As far as your Robert Wicks question…he is definately a teacher — Kyle Souller was principal at Galileo High. Also according to the text in Episode 8 (timestamp 32:20), Robert Wicks was simply described as a teacher…no subject given.

This is another chance for us to interact with the novel. Sigler is using this as an awsome medium to pull all of this together. I’ll have to buy him a beer if I ever meet him. Or two. Or three. Or however many it takes to have him tell me all his darkest secrets…

This missive brought to you by SynapticJam – hhhmmm… tastes like chicken

So as the list is currently built I am only adding people to it when they die. What I was proposing above is adding them as soon as we know they are a Junkie being used in the story then updating the “Episode Killed” column when they are indeed killed.

As an example, we know that both Bryan Clausner and Sean Robertson are both names of Junkies but neither of them have been killed yet and it may take many more episodes for either of them to die (if they are going to die at all). So each of them would be on the Junkie list and if/when they die then I can update what episode they died in. Thanks

Makes sense, especially if our Overlord will be providing both in his episode posts (hint hint)

I was also thinking it might make this process a little easier to to list all the names of the Junkies used in Nocturnal and then adding a column to designate which episode they died in (for the ones that actually do get killed off).

I will slowly (but surely) be making my way through past episodes to get names of any that I missed. If anyone wants to help that would be great but it’s also helpful for as many Junkies as possible to keep an ear out for any new names in future episodes. Post any names you hear on tis thread and I’ll update them to the wiki.

Thanks to everybody putting the brain power to this. I’ve been wondering about that myself, but just didn’t have the time to sit down and do it. Having it up on the wiki will make it easier to find than following a post thread, too.

Thank you, Treed!
I heard Scott mention Robert Wicks in the intro but to be honest, I didn’t remember him being killed in the episode. Based on your feedback, I listened to the episode again tonight and confirmed the killing around timestamp 32:56.

The wiki has been updated with the name, character part and episode of death.

Seeing as how I missed the death, this is pretty good confirmation that this works well as a group effort, so thanks again and keep ‘em coming!

the last one was killed in episode 8, his name is in the show notes and scott (DAMN HIM) mentions him at the beginning of the episode, i cannot remember how he dies
Robert Wicks is the name*

If some can confirm for me who the two people that were killed were, I can go in and update it.

I’ve done a good portion of the episode recaps and fleshed out a bunch of the characters, so it’s no problem for me to update….I’m just not sure which characters (who have been killed) were actually real fan names…(maybe I’m not listing close enough!)

Any way, if someone (or some thing … in the case of the voices) can confirm the names, I’ll take care of the rest.

I went to wiki and searched Nocturnal, good info, but like you said no one has updated the Fan Death List. But this site is looking pretty good.
Someday I will learn how to do this stuff, if I live long enough.

Some one (meaning not me, because i don’t know how or who) needs to update the wiki
there is a section on the junkies death list and there are no names there
there should be at least two(?) there by now
ANYWAY

the voices are anxiously awaiting their demise, Sigler (DAMN YOU)

This is a cool idea — so much so that I added a section to the Nocturnal wiki page found here.

I think this thread may be a good place to confirm if the people killed were indeed fan names and then it should be added to wiki. The info is too great to not save!

To start the discussion…are we sure Eric Yee (Mobster Johnny Yee’s son) is dead? Episode 2 says he was dragged out of the room but leaves the fate of the child up to inference….anyone notice confirmation of his death?

Ok, Sigler is killing fans, but some of us wait until the book is finished, then gorge ourselves on it all at once. But we would like to know if Sigler killed us off. So can someone keep a running victim list, we can even do it in this thread.
